Human Rights Class in a Box K-12 Schools

International Solidarity for Human Rights (ISHR) is dedicated to fostering a culture of education, promotion, and support for the principles and values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Human Rights Class in a Box (HRCB) for K-12 Schools

Created by International Solidarity for Human Rights (ISHR), this program is tailor-made to introduce kids in grades K–12 to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) in an exciting, positive and interactive way.

Imagine embarking on a journey where every child understands the importance of respecting everyone’s rights, fostering a world of peace and equality. That’s exactly what Human Rights Class in a Box (HRCB) is all about. It’s not just another lesson; it’s an exploration of values that shape our world.

During our 1-hour presentation, students delve into the 30 human rights outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), from the right to education to the right to freedom of expression.

With engaging activities and thoughtful discussions, they not only learn about each right but also understand its significance in their lives and communities.

To make this learning even more accessible, each student receives a Pocket Guide to Human Rights, complete with illustrations and explanations of all 30 articles. It’s a tool that empowers them to understand, advocate, and share their knowledge with others.

As the session concludes, we invite students to take this newfound knowledge home and share it with their families. Why? Because educating about human rights is crucial in preventing discrimination, injustice, and bullying. When children understand and respect each other’s rights, they become agents of positive change in their schools and beyond.

HRCB has been embraced by schools locally and internationally, spreading awareness and fostering a culture of human rights advocacy.

Let’s join hands to build a world where every child grows up understanding the importance of human rights, where discrimination, injustice, and bullying have no place.

Together, we can make a difference.

Schools K-12 interested in booking a presentation of the Human Rights Class in a Box program can reach out to International Solidarity for Human Rights via email at esv@ishrights.org.
We look forward to collaborating with you to bring this enriching educational experience to your institution!

“One of the greatest impacts the program has had is on our Saint Joan of Arc School Curriculum. As a result of the Human Rights In-house Field Trip, our middle school literature teacher chose to update the 2017 required summer reading list for our 6th through 8th grade students. She was passionate about choosing novels based on a spectrum of human rights issues. Also, our Fine Arts Night included collaborative posters from each class and grade level which discussed and demonstrated each Human Rights Article.” Mrs. Roberts, Principal of St. Joan of Arc Catholic School.
